Isogenic autosomes to be applied in optimal screening for novel mutants with viable phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster.

abstract：:Predictions from the theory of transfection, Karl-Friedrich Fischbach's first paper, were confirmed 20 years later. Also a model, proposed already in 1977 by Karl-Friedrich and colleagues, to explain the nonmonotonous dependence on light intensity of phototaxis in Drosophila, finds support in recent studies of functio...
